Health p_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ n _ _ s plays a central and critical role in improving quality
health care for the people. They provide essential services that promote health,
prevent diseases, and deliver health care s_ _ v _ _ _ s to individuals, families, and
communities based on the primary health care approach. The healthcare system
offers four broad types of services: health promotion, disease p_ _ v _ _ _ _ _ n, d_ _
_ _ _ s _ s and tr_ _ _ _ _ _ t, and rehabilitation.

Health services consist of medical professionals, organizations, and ancillary

health care w_ _ _ _ _ s who provide medical care to those in need. They cover e_ _
_ _ _ _ _ y, preventative, r_ h _ _ _ _ _ t _ t _ v _, hospital, diagnostic, primary, and
h_ _ _ care. These services are centered around making health care accessible, high
quality, and patient-centered. Many different types of care and providers are
necessary to offer successful health services.

Health services cover different types of medical issues. Many people think of
primary care, o_ _ p _ t _ _ _ t care, and emergency care when they need an illness
managed or generally not feeling well. However, there are more health services
dedicated to certain illnesses or issues. These health services include m_ _ t _ _
health care, d_ _ t _ _ care, l_ b _ _ _ _ _ _ y and diagnostic care, Substance a_ _ s
_ treatment, preventative care, physical and occupational therapy, nutritional support,
pharmaceutical care, transportation, and p_ _ n _ _ _ l care. Not everyone will need
